I just thought I'd take the time to warn you about the terrible Coastal Scents rip offs I've found on various sites -- I'm also sure that there are more out there, but this is what I've come across so far. So read further if you're interested:
Please, if you are planning on making a purchase for Coastal Scents product, do it on coastalscents.com OR Ebay, if you found it to be a better price for the exact same thing. Other than this DON'T DO IT!
Here's why:
Take a look at these couple sites:
http://www.overstock.com/Health-Beauty/Eye-Shadow-and-Blush-Palette/3028617/product.html?sec_iid=33969 [also more on the side to look at]
Both these sites offer MAJOR rip offs of the same exact product from Coastal Scents... other than they may be older and without the Coastal Scents label on the front of the palettes.
Especially on that Yazmo site -- they have the same exact 10 blush palette, 10 concealer palette, 28 neutral palette, 88 color palette [not sure if it's shimmer or matte], and possibly the same 6 contour and blush palette! And at prices like $50 per palette, when you could get it $30 cheaper on the actual site, why do it?
So I hope this blog post was helpful to you in some way, shape, or form! I'm sure glad I wasn't a victim of these rip offs! People are just trying to make profit off of something that isn't even theres -- don't do it & please be careful and wise!
Also -- beware this empty 15 eyeshadow palette for $18: http://www.yazmo.com/15coloremptyeyeshadowpalettepaper.aspx
You can get it for $12 from MAC! =]
Thanks & have a great 4th of July weekend! =] I'm going to a carnival and fireworks show! =]

haha their not ripoffs its just that coastal scents buys from a factory and some people buy from the same factory, like www.starsmakeuphaven.com, not rip offs, just the same, with a nicer owner ;]
ReplyDeleteWell technically it still is a rip off since you can get the same exact thing directly from Coastal Scents for 20 or 30 dollars cheaper.

You are an idiot! It's not a rip off you moron! You don't know who made what first, and also they may purchase from them you dumb twat! If you purchase wholesale, you can get things a lot cheaper! Maybe coastal scents purchases from them! Ever think of that??????? Actually, they have a hell of a lot more stuff than coastal scents, and CS is always ripping off people, they rip off MAC if you want to talk about ripping off! You don't know if it's a gip unless you have used the makeup fool! There is actually makeup that costs that much you idiot! I know that your hillbilly azz has never been in a nice store to see it, but it exists! Now go back to your used makeup! You have no room to criticize when you try and sell people nasty used lipstick! Go take a shower and stfu!
ReplyDeleteand actually stars makeup haven is cheaper
